INDIO, Calif.\u00a0\u2014\u00a0<\/span>On a quiet neighborhood corner across the street from a local watering hole, a roughly 40-foot shovel towers above the desert. Visible from more than half a mile away, the oversized hand tool sits about 15 minutes from the Coachella festival grounds.<\/p>\n To most, the shovel fits alongside Indio\u2019s large<\/u>–<\/u>scale public artworks<\/u><\/a>. Pieces like \u201cSarbal\u00e9 Ke,\u201d \u201cColossal Cacti\u201d and a cactus forming rock music\u2019s most famous hand gesture that once graced the Empire Polo Club have made their way from the Coachella festival grounds to parks across the city. Amid that landscape, a big shovel \u2014 perhaps the biggest shovel in the world \u2014 feels somewhat ordinary.<\/p>\n To find our answer, we must turn to perhaps the biggest movie star in the world: Tom Cruise.<\/p>\n The actor posted a photo<\/u><\/a> of the giant shovel on X alongside the words \u201cIn DIGGER We Trust.\u201d<\/p>\n Cruise, whose cultural capital seems to be as high as it ever has been thanks to the commercial and critical success of recent hits like \u201cTop Gun: Maverick\u201d and the \u201cMission: Impossible\u201d films, is next set to headline a film called \u201cDigger\u201d<\/u><\/a> from director Alejandro Gonz\u00e1lez I\u00f1\u00e1rritu<\/u><\/a>. In the film\u2019s short teaser<\/u><\/a>, Cruise \u2014 donning an Ethan Hunt-esque hair and makeup transformation \u2014 moves balletically while carrying a shovel.<\/p>\n Details are scarce on the film, but moviegoers won\u2019t have to guess at the film\u2019s tone. \u201cA comedy of catastrophic proportions\u201d is the movie\u2019s tagline, which calls to mind Cruise\u2019s \u201cTropic Thunder\u201d character Les Grossman. Whether or not \u201cDigger\u201d will see Cruise bust a move<\/u><\/a> as he did during the 2010 MTV Movie Awards remains to be seen.<\/p>\nHow to find the giant \u201cDigger\u201d shovel in Indio?<\/h2>\n
